Fantastic tour, fantastic trip, fanstic Fahd. Everything was wonderful. We visited all the places, there were no problems anywhere and we liked everything a lot ! Fahd is a professional, knows a lot about Pakistan, its customs and traditions. Fahd helped me take photographs, suggested the best angles for photography, negotiated with people (keepers) so that we could get to places that are inaccessible to an ordinary tourist. At the end of the trip, Fahd took me to a very good local restaurant (where only locals eat). After a busy day of sightseeing, it was fantastically pleasant to eat delicious meat prepared according to the Pakistani recipe (at my request - was not spicy). I highly recommend guide Fahd and this trip.
